This week Pox & Puss discuss: The stuff in your packHave you ever carried a piece of gear that was teetering on the edge of "unusable"?Have you carried something in your pack that served no practical purpose? Did it have sentimental value?Have you ever carried something that you didn't know was in your pack? A rock....or a canned ham?

We have a conversation with 2014 Northbounder, Zachsquatch. He tells us about an interesting time he had on trail with a sword-wielding Russian, he describes the average day in the life of an iPhone on the Appalachian Trail, and he has a close encounter with a horse.
